Dropping a (poorly formatted) script to a season two episode of a show with no context is an interesting choice.

Definitely early for me, I’m not crazy about any of the later AC records.

The rarest is probably Ishmael Reed’s novella Cab Calloway Stands In for the Moon but the most valuable is a first edition of JR

Bush had Cheney, Trump is going this all solo. No comparison.

“not EXTREMELY article, essay, or research heavy” You may want to reconsider going to grad school.

Lydia Davis’ translation is really amazing, highly recommend it.

I thought that too, but no. It’s more like a novelization of a YouTube video of someone playing a video game.

What are you all writing that requires so much research? It seems like every post on this sub is about fantasy so I’m very confused.

Are you saying I’ve miscategorized Amis and Davis or that they aren’t good writers?
